APPRAISALS

Mission

APPRAISALS BY A TO Z was created to allow couples involved in a divorce action reach a fair and equitable division of marital property.

FACTS

With no regulations for personal property appraisers, anyone can represent themselves as an appraiser. And they do.

Our certified appraiser has in-depth education and training in personal property principles and methodology.

Each report is written to the highest standards of the appraisal profession.

Certified appraisers offer the public the protection of membership in organizations, which police their members and hold them accountable for misconduct.

A certified appraiser must adhere to a strict code of ethics and follow the guidelines of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).
